Singulair contains the active ingredient montelukast, and is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It is used to manage asthma and allergic rhinitis (hay fever).
In asthma, leukotrienes are molecules that promote swelling in the airways, tightening of airway muscles, and changes in cells that lead to inflammation, making it harder to breathe.
Singulair blocks the effects of leukotrienes and eases asthma symptoms.
Singulair (montelukast) is recommended for adults and children who require long-term control of asthma.*
